Abstract
Chapter 12 develops duality for a model in finite elasticity. The dual formulations obtained allow the matrix of stresses to be non positive or non negative definite. This is in some sense, an extension of earlier results (which establish the complementary energy as a perfect global optimization duality principle only if the stress tensor is positive definite at the equilibrium point). The results are based on standard tools of convex analysis and the concept of Legendre Transform.
